1- DMCA
What constitutes a DMCA violation: Unauthorized use of copyrighted material: This includes copying, distributing, or modifying copyrighted works without the copyright holder's permission. Circumventing technical protection measures: The DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent technologies used to protect copyrighted works, such as encryption or copy protection. Providing tools for circumvention: Distributing or creating tools or services designed to circumvent these protections is also a violation. Ignoring DMCA Takedown Notices: Service providers that fail to remove infringing content when notified by copyright holders can lose their "safe harbor" protection and be held liable. Potential consequences of DMCA violations: Legal action: Copyright holders can file lawsuits for copyright infringement, seeking damages, including statutory damages (between $750 and $30,000 per work infringed) and potentially up to $150,000 for willful infringement. Criminal penalties: In some cases, willful copyright infringement can lead to criminal charges, including fines and imprisonment. Loss of privileges and services: University policies and service provider terms often include consequences for copyright violations, such as suspension of access to computing resources or termination of accounts. Important points: DMCA Takedown Notices: If you receive a DMCA takedown notice, it's crucial to understand the nature of the infringement and take appropriate action, such as removing the infringing content. Counter-Notices: If you believe a DMCA takedown notice is in error, you can file a counter-notice to request the content be reinstated. Consult with legal counsel: If you are unsure about your rights and obligations under the DMCA or have received a takedown notice, it's advisable to consult with an attorney specializing in copyright law.
